"Do we need a rota?"

Mii had no idea what Minako meant. "A what?"

"A rota. You know, to keep track of the hoovering, and tossing the bins, and putting the kettle on after class."

"The what, the what, and the what?" Usagi asked, just as perplexed as Mii.

Rob smiled. "I think Mako-chan has the scran covered. But a rota for the rest would be boss."

"So I'm a Beatles fan and I've seen a few episodes of Corrie Street. Everything's sound."

Rei finally exploded. "Will the two of you please tell us what you're talking about!"

Minako was puzzled for a short moment as well, until she realized what he was saying. "That's Liverpool slang, Rob, not London Received Pronunciation."

"So I'm a Beatles fan and I've seen a few episodes of Coronation Street. We're good."

Rei finally exploded. "Will the two of you please tell us what you're talking about!"
